US Pint can from Trader Joe's in Mission Viejo, drank on 26th April 2025 in Laguna Hills, last night of our holiday. This is bloody awful, it's a hazed pale golden colour with a fast fading white head. It had a wet carboard aroma and taste, it could have been an out of date Bud Lite or similar, just an awful beer from start to finish, most people would have drain poured it.

US pint can from a local Trader Joe's by my daughter, drank at her place in Laguna Hills on 25th March 2025. Poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip (twice). Light haze to the golden body, weak and fast fading white head. Hoppy nose with a citrus leaning, piney notes arrived as the beer warmed in the glass.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold colored body that supports a full off white head of foam. The aroma offers up floral hops, some dank onion, a dash of berry and then faint citrus and tropical fruity notes. The taste delivers a blend of bitter citrus hops bitterness and juiciness leading to a modest degree of soft sweet guava like tropical fruitiness. To midway a tiny island of spicy onion like hop bitterness is noticed from time to time. Pretty fun beer.

Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours clear gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is confusing - fruity/jammy/piney. Med plus body. It's somewhat juicy, but rather towards dry and more than moderately bitter. Flavor is tropical/fruity/jammy/resin. Mouth smacking flavor. Hop jam (like fruit jam) comes to mind. A new thought for a new ale. This goes down really nicely.
